De-regulating drones (adding a reasonable system of licenses and allowances, say) will unlock so many possiblities:https://twitter.com/CalebWatney/status/711006979494268928 …

@starsandrobots@CalebWatney agree with that but de regulation usually means pulling back most rules. -
@nomadicnerd@starsandrobots Right now, our regs are definitely on the side of 'too burdensome' http://mercatus.org/publication/do-consumer-drones-endanger-national-airspace-evidence-wildlife-strike-data … -
@nomadicnerd@starsandrobots The risk of deaths from small consumer drones is waaaaaayyyy overblown. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/03/researchers-say-faa-is-really-overblowing-risk-posed-by-small-drones/ … -
@CalebWatney@nomadicnerd so the numbers are currently low, but so is the number of drones in the sky. I don't think the risk is outsized. -
@CalebWatney@nomadicnerd I think I may have been the first to say that drone rules were a good idea because drones are flying lawnmowers -
@CalebWatney@nomadicnerd however I am not convinced that a blanket ban on urban drone flight is a good idea. -
@starsandrobots@nomadicnerd Not saying no rules, but specifically targeting small consumer drones (like the FAA has) is counterproductive

@starsandrobots@CalebWatney we need clear concise rules that prioritize public safety. Risk based regulation. I.e. Not over citiesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
